2. They should give him the coldest shoulder they can

minimal support, tiniest venue, no crowds, no officials. Let him stand in the heat and gaslight himself.

8. I like that idea.

When he goes there on Wed they can give him little to no support...you get what you pay for.

3. 45 hasn't paid his campaign bills to at least ten other cities, either.

7. Let him come but provide only normal services. No special accommodations like extra traffic control.

10. They should put a "BOOT" on the nose wheel of Air Force One

When he shows up.

[James48]

11. and yes, they make "The Boot" for airplanes.

I just don't know if they make it in Air Force One 747 size.
At least that ought to get Trump's attentioni to pay his bills.

12. ANYONE...

HELP NEEDED!

I have heard that Trump owes the city of El Paso $500K for past services. Is there anyone who can produce a cartoon or photo mock up of the El Paso sheriff posting a Lien Notice on Air Force 1 when Trump arrives in El Paso?
